Thanks! I'll add that to the list

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I think we'll go the route of finding a pump + immersion chiller and pumping cold water from a reservoir. Seems like this will make the most sense

No, so that won't be doable for me. Also we will be using a fastferment 3 gallon conical so I don't think we can chill it in that either.

My brother and I bought the brewers edge Mash and Boil to start apartment brewing. Our sink has a faucet that doesn't allow for attaching anything (it's one of those spray ones that you can pull out). Was looking for a way to cool the wort that doesn't involve diluting with ice water, because...

I should note, nothing smelled off, but I definitely wasn't going to do a taste test

Is this normal? I started a cherry melomel yesterday, I'm using Knudsens Pure Cherry Juice so there's virtually no haze or residue from the cherries. I pitched a packet of D47, but even in the starter I could tell there was not a lot going on. I figured I might have bought packets that were...

Looks like we have 213.5+7 gallons raspberry melomel, as well as 213.5+5 gallons cyser. So we should actually be at 225.5. Plus 1 gallon Cherry Melomel = 226.5

Wouldn't it be a melomel then?

I've had numerous meads turn out with strong medicinal flavors. The flavor stays, even two years in. I have tried brainstorming with others and asking on this forum but haven't been able to come up with any answers. My last two meads did not have the medicinal flavor, those included lots of...

+1 Gallon Raspberry Melomel 728.5

What bottles are these?

If they're commercial raisins I've never seen anything about sanitizing them, so you should be good.

I actually ended up doing a pound in primary and another pound and a half in secondary, so upped the total quite a bit to 2 1/2 pounds. But if you like a lasting flavor of raspberry it's perfect

Double down on the raspberry. Semi sweet on the left (just racked, still cloudy), dry on the right. Hard to be patient
